10 Lovely Photographers For a Swedish Destination Wedding
Beautifully capturing relaxed and candid style photos, focusing on the beauty of storytelling and the way that nature and light can impact photography - these are all aspects that feature within a lot of these lovely Swedish photographers’ work. Add to that a real desire to make you feel as at ease as possible, and there’s not much more you want or need from a photographer!
Below we’ve listed out some of our favourite Swedish photographers right now. We recommend heading to their website and spending some time nosing through their portfolios and real weddings to get a good taste of their style.
1. Linda Otterstedt Photography
Having worked as a photographer for 16 years all over the world, Linda Otterstedt started with children and family photography and has in the past 5 years moved into wedding photography. Her style is fine art and portrait style, really capturing the beauty of the day.
2. Fotograf Emma Eriksson
Emma wonderfully encapsulates her style in this statement on her website - “I love capturing those genuine and authentic moments and the moments in between in a natural way. For me, it's just as important to show how it felt as how it looked, like a really good movie that can be relived over and over again.” So it’s no surprise her inspiration comes from movies, music, people, light, minimalism and opera. With her photos she wants to touch and surprise, capturing the real, honest and genuine moments.
3. Fotograf August Järpemo
As one of six children, August has always loved photographing people and all their individual ways. His photography style is candid, focusing on capturing people in the middle of the moment. He has no rules, expectations or must haves for the day, and likes to work fluidly with you rather than ticking off particular shots. He enjoys working with you to find inspiration and the desired effect you’d like to achieve.
4. Frida Furberg Photographer
Through her photography, Frida really likes to focusing on making people feel comfortable and relaxed, to achieve the best outcome and help you feel less rigid. She’s photographed hundreds of weddings and loves to capture both the moments and the lovely details of the wedding.
5. Swede Pea Photography
As a self-taught photographer, Stephanie has a fun, laid-back and go with the flow approach to photography, and loves making her couples feel at ease around her and in front of the camera. She originally started as a photographer in Sweden (hence the name!) and now lives in America, but is of course happy to travel.
6. Emelia Mary Photography
A bubbly 27 years old who’s had her photography business since 2019, Emelia Mary prefers to capture genuine and spontaneous shots to posed. Throughout the day she’ll set you fun assignments to help you laugh and avoid any stiff poses, so your true selves can come across on camera. It’s important to her as much as you that you connect and enjoy working together, so she always organises a video call prior for you to get to know each other.
7. Misovi Foto
For Mirja Claesson, the founder of Misovi Foto, she loves to capture the natural, genuine and real moments and her strength is capturing personalities. She doesn’t control what happens around you for most of the shots, however for portraits that are a little more posed, she’ll help to guide you to ensure you feel relaxed.

9. Cecelina Photography
Inspired by nature and the light (and often lack there of) in Sweden, Cecelina utilises their power in how she captures the story of your wedding day. She is a passionate teller of stories, having travelled all over the world capturing stories, celebrations and extraordinary people in amazing locations. Her work is rooted in it's connection to nature and she is based in both London and Stockholm, which is handy if you’re from the UK planning a destination wedding in Sweden.
10. Tove Lundquist
Based in Malmö, Tove Lundquist loves the storytelling aspect of wedding photography, capturing your wedding from her perspective and not limiting herself to the typical wedding shots. When she photographs, she likes to think of the future generations who will look at the photos in years to come and how they’ll be able to live through the day too. Her husband is also a professional photographer and sometimes joins her as a second shooter.
